IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-$HADES.

Jigs sa ine marsh in in ilgtfit T tties 332mm and mating and at Ilgtsame TO ALL PERSONS TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME:

Be it known that I, JAMES EMERY, of Bucks'port, in the county ofHancock, and State of Maine, have made a. new and useful Improvement inLamp-Shades; and I do hereby declare the same to be fully described inthe following specification and represented in the accompanyingdrawings, of which- I Figure 1 is a pcrspectiveview of,a lamp-shade madein accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a-vertical section of it.

Figure 3 is a side view of its screen-slide.

The screen A of this shade may be made like the pocketed leaf of aphotographic album; that is to say with one or more pockets to receivephotographs or engravings, or paintings on thin paper; and, furthermore,in its middle it is to have a pocket, f, to receive a slider, B, formedof one piece of wire, bent in a serpentine manner near one end, as shownat a. The wire at or near its other end is also bent at an acute angle,as shown at b, the part 0 extending from the bend 6 being to enter theupper helical coil of the shade-supporter C. The poekctfis formed intransverse section, as shown in Figure 4, which is a horizontal sectionof the screen. The serpentine part a of the slider B is inserted in thepocket, and scrvcsto keep the screen in its proper position. The screencan be slid either up or down on such part a. The supporter C is made ofone piece of wire, having a helical coil at each of: its ends The lowerhelical coil, g, is to be of a diameter to fit upon and surround thewick-tribe of the lamp, the arrangement of the coils g and (Z, withrespect to the rest of the supporter, being as represented in thedrawings.

The lamp-shade so made is a very simple and eflcctivc one.

I claim the screen-supporter composed of the two wires 13 and 0, havingtwo helix coils, serpentine bends, and a projection arranged as setforth.

I also claim the screen, as made with the iniddlepocket to receive theslider 13, made as described.
